Query Builder

This documentation explains the complete usage API of the Bloatless Query Builder.

Connections

You can define multiple database connections in your projects config.php file.

$config = [
    'db' => [
        'connections' => [
            'db1' => [
                'driver' => 'mysql',
                'host' => 'localhost',
                'database' => 'db1',
                'username' => 'root',
                'password' => 'your-password',
                'charset' => 'utf8', // Optional
                'timezone' => 'Europe/Berlin', // Optional
            ],
            
            'db2' => [
                'driver' => 'sqlite',
                'database' => '/path/to/sqlite.db',
            ]
            
            // add additional connections here...
        ],
    
        'default_connection' => 'db1',
    ]
];

Factory

The QueryBuilder factory needs to be initialized using a config array providing the connection credentials:

$db = new \Bloatless\QueryBuilder\QueryBuilder\Factory($config['db']);

Once initialized the factory can be used to provide query-builder objects for various database operations:

$selectQueryBuilder = $db->makeSelect();
$updateQueryBuilder = $db->makeUpdate();
$deleteQueryBuilder = $db->makeDelete();
$insertQueryBuilder = $db->makeInsert();
$rawQueryBuilder = $db->makeRaw();

With no arguments provided the default database connection is used. If you want to use a different connection you can pass the connection name as an argument.

$updateQueryBuilder = $db->makeUpdate('db2');

SELECT

A simple select

$rows = $db->makeSelect()->from('customers')->get();

Table and column alias

Aliases can be used on table names as well as on column names.

$rows = $db->makeSelect()
    ->cols(['customer_id AS id', 'firstname', 'lastname'])
    ->from('customers AS c')
    ->get();

Get specific columns

$rows = $db->makeSelect()
    ->cols(['customer_id', 'firstname', 'lastname'])
    ->from('customers')
    ->get();

First row only

$row = $db->makeSelect()
    ->from('customers')
    ->whereEquals('customer_id', 42)
    ->first();

Single column as array

$names = $db->makeSelect()
    ->from('customers')
    ->pluck('firstname');

Will fetch an array containing all first names of the customers table.

You can specify a second column which will be used for the keys of the array:

$names = $db->makeSelect()
    ->from('customers')
    ->pluck('firstname', 'customer_id');

Will fetch an array of all first names using the customer_id as array key.

Counting rows

$rowCount = $db->makeSelect()
    ->from('customers')
    ->count();

Joins

You can join tables using the join, leftJoin or rightJoin methods. You can of course join multiple tables.

$rows = $db->makeSelect()
    ->from('customers')
    ->join('orders', 'customers.customer_id', '=', 'orders.customer_id')
    ->get();

Group by

$rows = $db->makeSelect()
    ->from('orders')
    ->groupBy('customer_id')
    ->get();

Order by

$rows = $db->makeSelect()
    ->from('customers')
    ->orderBy('firstname', 'desc')
    ->get();

Having

$rows = $db->makeSelect()
    ->from('orders')
    ->having('amount', '>', 10)
    ->orHaving('cart_items', '>' 5)
    ->get();

Limit and Offset

$rows = $db->makeSelect()
    ->from('orders')
    ->limit(10)
    ->offset(20)
    ->get();

Distinct

$rows = $db->makeSelect()
    ->distinct()
    ->from('orders')
    ->get();

UPDATE

$rows = $db->makeUpdate()
    ->table('customers')
    ->whereEquals('customer_id', 42)
    ->update([
        'firstname' => 'Homer'
    ]);

DELETE

$rows = $db->makeDelete()
    ->from('customers')
    ->whereEquals('customer_id', 42)
    ->delete();

WHERE

You can use various where clauses on all select, update and delete queries:

Simple where

$rows = $db->makeSelect()
    ->from('customers')
    ->where('customer_id', '=', 42)
    ->where('customer_id', '>', 10)
    ->whereEquals('customer_id', 42)
    ->get();

Or where

->orWhere('customer_id', '>', 5)

Where in

->whereIn('customer_id', [1,2,3])

Where not in

->whereNotIn('customer_id', [1,2,3])

Or where in

->orWhereIn('customer_id', [1,2,3])

Or where not in

->orWhereNotIn('customer_id', [1,2,3])

Where between

->whereBetween('customer_id', 5, 10)

Or where between

->orWhereBetween('customer_id', 5, 10)

Where null

->whereNull('customer_id')

Where not null

->whereNotNull('customer_id')

Or where null

->orWhereNull('customer_id')

Or where not null

->orWhereNotNull('customer_id')

Where raw

->whereRaw('TIMESTAMPDIFF(HOUR, `time`, NOW()) <= 24')

->whereRaw('customer_id = :id', ['id' => 10])

Or where raw

->orWhereRaw('TIMESTAMPDIFF(HOUR, `time`, NOW()) <= 24')

INSERT

Single row

$customerId = $db->makeInsert()
    ->into('customers')
    ->row([
        'firstname' => 'Homer',
        'lastname' => 'Simpson',
    ]);

When inserting a single row, the auto-increment value of the newly added row will be returned.

Multiple rows

You can insert multiple rows at once using the rows method:

$db->makeInsert()
    ->into('customers')
    ->rows([
        [
            'firstname' => 'Homer',
            'lastname' => 'Simpson',
        ],
        [
            'firstname' => 'Marge',
            'lastname' => 'Simpson',
        ],
    ]);

Last insert id

In case you need to fetch the id if the last insert manually you can use the getLastInsertId method:

$id = $insertQueryBuilder->getLastInsertId();

RAW Queries

There will always be some kind of queries you can not build using the methods of a query builder. In those cases you can utilize the RawQueryBuilder which allows you to execute raw queries to the database.

Raw select queries

$rows = $db->makeRaw()
    ->prepare("SELECT * FROM `orders` WHERE `customer_id` = :id", [
        'id' => 42,
    ])
    ->get();

Other raw queries

$db->makeRaw()
    ->prepare("UPDATE `customers` SET `firstname` = :name WHERE `customer_id` = :id", [
        'name' => 'Homer',
        'id' => 42,
    ])
    ->run();

Reset

All query builders have a reset method. This method can be used to clear all previously set values without the need of creating a new QueryBuilder object.

$builder = $db->makeSelect()
    ->from('customers')
    ->whereEquals('customer_id', 42);

$builder->reset();

...

Security

All query builders internally use PDO parameter binding to reduce the risk of injection attacks as much as possible. Additionally, table names as well as field names are quoted - so you don't have to worry about that. This works on simple table names or when using aliases. Nevertheless, you should always try to avoid using user input within sql statements!
